It’s time for another Greenfield holiday tradition! Please join us in wishing our amazing staff Happy Holidays! We will be holding the Annual Cookie Exchange on 18th of December. All teachers will receive a festive holiday container, to take home cookies preferably home made or purchased by you. The staff and teachers consider this one of their favorite events each year.

We had a wonderful first meeting making placemats for The Giving Heart Community Thanksgiving Feast! We loved seeing our Greenfield Gives families as well as several scouts that joined us!!

Our next meeting will be December 5th and we’d love to see you there! We will be working with Connecting Hearts VA and Greenfield parent Barry Farmer to share our support for the foster community!

Greenfield will be collecting gift cards towards experiences for these foster children who may not get to enjoy the same experiences our kids do. MANY businesses are happy to donate gift certificates and cards to great causes! If your family would like to contribute please bring cards to the office through December 3rd! Any amount is appreciated-from gift cards for dining out to gift cards to the movies, trampoline parks, etc! And sometimes all it takes is someone asking one of these businesses! These treats are wonderful to share during the holidays and on birthdays and other events supporting the kids.

We will share the value of these gifts for these foster kids at our meeting through fun games and activities! Thank you so much for your support for Greenfield Gives and the foster care community. We really can make a difference in the lives of these kids.

Fall book fair will be here December 3-7! Please consider signing up to volunteer either during your child’s resource time or other convenient times to make our book fair a success! Thank you always for your support of our school!

We’ve missed you and we hope you’ve missed us! We’re jumping into our first project this Wednesday November 14th from 6:30-8p. We will be making placemats for The Giving Heart community Thanksgiving Feast.

Annually this program provides Thanksgiving Dinner for families in need. They provide food, decor and support. They also spend the day riding the bus and inviting people along the way to attend. It was awesome to be part of their event last year in making over 200 placemats! Kids really let their creativity flow and made some beautiful art. And we learned about how much our community has. This is what we did last year, (we collected toiletries as well last year), and the plans for this year’s project!

For this event we’d also like to support the food drive planned with Greenfield-please bring canned greens and/or non-perishable foods to the meeting to share with those in need!

The following meeting in December will be supporting foster children so get ready! We will be holding a drive with information coming soon but our meeting will surround activities and fun events that may give kids more of an understanding of what foster care and adoption is.

We look forward to seeing you soon and having fun! Thanks for your support and let me know if you have any questions/concerns!

Greenfield Elementary will be celebrating Veterans Day on Monday, November 12th . Please help our PTA by donating breakfast items for the Veterans and their families to enjoy prior to the ceremony. Thank you for your continued support of our PTA and school.

The Library needs your help! Please consider signing up on a day or days that suit you to help the librarian check in and check out books and to re shelve books that have been returned. Your help is always appreciated. Thank you for supporting our school.
